Intro:

The installation of network stack, drivers etc isn’t all that bad once you know how things should be done. But it can be quite confusing if you haven’t tried it before.

The primary focus on this document is getting wireless network up running, but I’ll cover wired network as well.

I’ve chosen the Miami 3.x version for this guide to cover 68000 binaries. The MiamiDX package requires a 68020+ processor, but feel free to use this instead, the Installation procedure is almost identical.

The author of Miami has OK’ed that the software be used freely, something about he lost the code generator or source or something. There is a nice website named Keyring where the keys for this software can be downloaded. Though I’ve also added them to the AIO Package below.

Pre-requisites:

You’ll need to download a few things off aminet, + getting some keys. I’ll also provice a full download package, but make note that this package might not be up to date if a new driver/package is updated on aminet.

You should already have a running Operating System, preferably OS31. Installer43_3 from aminet, lha to extract packages. Directory Opus or Diskmaster are useful too.

I will only cover the MUI based installation of the Miami TCP/IP stack.

So do a search on http://aminet.net for the following files (do remember I’ve compiled a full package with everything and provided a download link further down):

Extract the packages

As I mentioned earlier you should already have a running system with lha, installer43_3 (search aminet for lha.run selfextracting package, and installer43_3). The following images show the extraction using Directory Opus (all Miami packages needs to be extracted into the same folder).

If you’ve downloaded my compiled packaged you can skip this step and just extract that package.

For 68020+ processors

For 68000/10 processors

Extracting MUI

Extracting Prism2v2 (other drivers needs extracting the same way, you get the point I hope)

MUI Installation

The Miami package has a couple of frontends, but I’ve chosen MUI as I’ve seen this requirement more often than any of the other choices.

The MUI package is a framework for developers to make it easier to make a GUI, it is also required for using the software created for MUI, kinda the same as Microsoft’s .net framework, JAVA etc.

If you already know how to install a program, or it’s already installed (if you’re using ClassicWB) you can skip this section. It is really simple, but I’m providing screenshots of the procedure anyway.
You can click here to jump to next section.

Installing Prism2v2

This is almost as easy as installing MUI, though you’ll have some options here, like entering the SSID + Passphrase.

This is where you enter your SSID – Make sure you enter the correct one as you’d otherwise either need to re-encrypt the combined passphrase, or just do what’s easier. Reinstall this package and enter the correct info again.

And the passphrase for the SSID

the config file for this setup is ENVARC:Sys/Wireless.prefs If you edit the SSID manually you’ll need to re-encrypt again (not covered in this installation guide).

I have the amikit easynet kit for a couple of years and I have tried many configurations and nothing, I did not get it and I think that thanks to your great tutorial, I will be able to finally connect my 1200, my knowledge is a bit limited in this theme, thank you very much really
